how about folkes being told he wasnt required at the start of 2008 after having pretty much the same 2 seasons as hasler in 2006 and 2007 and also folkes was a clubman who won the title a few years previous so he deserved more leeway than hasler
Different scenarios for more reasons than just the fact Folksey was a clubman. I love Folksey....please don't think I'm bagging him out. Folkes was not ousted on the basis of one bad season though as I understand it. He was ousted because there was a perception he had been at the reigns too long and the club needed to be refreshed. This perception may well have been driven my the media. I'm not saying we should have let him go....but the two situations are a little different.
I brought up Folkes as a basis for comparison of the 2004/05 and 2012/13 seasons alone...apart from some similarities between those two seasons I wouldn't have brought him up.
Anyway....regardless of the Folksey comparison I really don't see the value in sacking Hasler. ANY cioach can have bad luck, an ordinary year and even make mistakes. A clubman may deserve more leeway, but I think any coach deserves a littkle leeway after finishing 6th. Everyone goes on about how bad a result it is with our roster, but nobody even rated our roster before Hasler arrived.
i THINK HE MADE MISTAKES THIS YEAR BUT i DON''T THINK SACKING HIM SHOULD EVEN BE A CONSIDERATION AT THIS TIME....AND SO FAR AS i KNOW IT ISN'T.
Sorry....not yelling in text form....caps lock and I don't get along very well :P
